The quenching of cluster satellite galaxies is inextricably linked to the suppression of their cold interstellar medium (ISM) by environmental mechanisms. While the removal of neutral atomic hydrogen (H i) at large radii is well studied, how the environment impacts the remaining gas in the centres of galaxies, which are dominated by molecular gas, is less clear. Using new observations from the Virgo Environment traced in CO survey (VERTICO) and archival H i data, we study the H i and molecular gas within the optical discs of Virgo cluster galaxies on 1.2-kpc scales with spatially resolved scaling relations between stellar ($\Sigma_{\star}$), H i ($\Sigma_{\text{H}\,{\small\text{I}}}$), and molecular gas ($\Sigma_{\text{mol}}$) surface densities. Adopting H i deficiency as a measure of environmental impact, we find evidence that, in addition to removing the H i at large radii, the cluster processes also lower the average $\Sigma_{\text{H}\,{\small\text{I}}}$ of the remaining gas even in the central $1.2\,$kpc. The impact on molecular gas is comparatively weaker than on the H i, and we show that the lower $\Sigma_{\text{mol}}$ gas is removed first. In the most H i-deficient galaxies, however, we find evidence that environmental processes reduce the typical $\Sigma_{\text{mol}}$ of the remaining gas by nearly a factor of 3. We find no evidence for environment-driven elevation of $\Sigma_{\text{H}\,{\small\text{I}}}$ or $\Sigma_{\text{mol}}$ in H i-deficient galaxies. Using the ratio of $\Sigma_{\text{mol}}$-to-$\Sigma_{\text{H}\,{\small\text{I}}}$ in individual regions, we show that changes in the ISM physical conditions, estimated using the total gas surface density and midplane hydrostatic pressure, cannot explain the observed reduction in molecular gas content. Instead, we suggest that direct stripping of the molecular gas is required to explain our results.

Background:
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is the most frequently reported hospital-acquired infection in the United States. Bioaerosols generated during toilet flushing are a possible mechanism for the spread of this pathogen in clinical settings.
Objective:To measure the bioaerosol concentration from toilets of patients with CDI before and after flushing.
Design:In this pilot study, bioaerosols were collected 0.15 m, 0.5 m, and 1.0 m from the rims of the toilets in the bathrooms of hospitalized patients with CDI. Inhibitory, selective media were used to detect C. difficile and other facultative anaerobes. Room air was collected continuously for 20 minutes with a bioaerosol sampler before and after toilet flushing. Wilcoxon rank-sum tests were used to assess the difference in bioaerosol production before and after flushing.
Setting:Rooms of patients with CDI at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
Results:Bacteria were positively cultured from 8 of 24 rooms (33%). In total, 72 preflush and 72 postflush samples were collected; 9 of the preflush samples (13%) and 19 of the postflush samples (26%) were culture positive for healthcare-associated bacteria. The predominant species cultured were Enterococcus faecalis, E. faecium, and C. difficile. Compared to the preflush samples, the postflush samples showed significant increases in the concentrations of the 2 large particle-size categories: 5.0 µm (P = .0095) and 10.0 µm (P = .0082).
Conclusions:Bioaerosols produced by toilet flushing potentially contribute to hospital environmental contamination. Prevention measures (eg, toilet lids) should be evaluated as interventions to prevent toilet-associated environmental contamination in clinical settings.

To determine if total lifetime physical activity (PA) is associated with better cognitive functioning with aging and if cerebrovascular function mediates this association. A sample of 226 (52.2% female) community dwelling middle-aged and older adults (66.5±6.4 years) in the Brain in Motion Study, completed the Lifetime Total Physical Activity Questionnaire and underwent neuropsychological and cerebrovascular blood flow testing. Multiple robust linear regressions were used to model the associations between lifetime PA and global cognition after adjusting for age, sex, North American Adult Reading Test results (i.e., an estimate of premorbid intellectual ability), maximal aerobic capacity, body mass index and interactions between age, sex, and lifetime PA. Mediation analysis assessed the effect of cerebrovascular measures on the association between lifetime PA and global cognition. Post hoc analyses assessed past year PA and current fitness levels relation to global cognition and cerebrovascular measures. Better global cognitive performance was associated with higher lifetime PA (p=.045), recreational PA (p=.021), and vigorous intensity PA (p=.004), PA between the ages of 0 and 20 years (p=.036), and between the ages of 21 and 35 years (p<.0001). Cerebrovascular measures did not mediate the association between PA and global cognition scores (p>.5), but partially mediated the relation between current fitness and global cognition. This study revealed significant associations between higher levels of PA (i.e., total lifetime, recreational, vigorous PA, and past year) and better cognitive function in later life. Current fitness levels relation to cognitive function may be partially mediated through current cerebrovascular function. (JINS, 2015, 21, 816–830)

In understanding galaxy evolution, one central question is how star formation is regulated in galaxies. Changes in star formation rates are likely tied to changes in the interstellar medium, particularly the molecular gas which is the fuel for star formation. I will discuss our recent results which use data from the Herschel Space Observatory, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, and other telescopes to determine the typical density, temperature, and surface density of the molecular gas in various nearby galaxies. Comparing the properties of molecular gas in starburst and other active galaxies with more quiescent spiral disks provides some clues as to how changes in the physical state of the gas, such as mean density, can lead to enhanced star formation rates.

Several recent surveys (HERACLES, NGLS, KINGFISH, VNGS) have provided us with sensitive high-resolution observations of the molecular gas and dust content in spiral galaxies within 25 Mpc. I review recent results on the molecular gas content and its relation to star formation, as well as on the gas to dust ratio and the dust heating in spiral galaxies. I also present new results on the effect of environment on the molecular gas content of spiral galaxies.

Technological progress in the synthesis and characterization of nanometer-scale structures has improved understanding of molecular and colloidal aggregation, self-assembly, and crystal growth. While substrates are commonly used to control nucleation and growth in metal and semiconductor crystals, their use in protein epitaxy has been limited by the lack of substrate structures commensurate with protein sizes. In this paper we describe the use of polished cross sections of amorphous alumina–silica nanolaminates whose periods varied from 8 to 200 nm in the formation of self-assembled monolayers of the protein macromolecule aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase). Scanning force microscopy images of rapidly deposited ATCase demonstrates one-dimensional protein ordering along 13.5 nm wide silica nanolaminate. Numerical studies of irreversible adhesion indicate that patterning can induce a higher degree of ordering by varying the substrate periodicity. We expect this to have implications for nucleation and growth of both two-dimensional crystalline layers and bulk protein crystals.

Objectives and Methods: Many authors have argued that ethical, legal, and social issues (“ELSIs”) should be explicitly integrated into health technology assessment (HTA), yet doing so poses challenges. This discussion may be particularly salient for technologies viewed as ethically complex, such as genetic screening. Here we provide a brief overview of contemporary discussions of the issues from the HTA literature. We then describe key existing policy evaluation frameworks in the fields of disease screening and public health genomics. Finally, we map the insights from the HTA literature to the policy evaluation frameworks, with discussion of the implications for HTA in genetic screening.
Results and Conclusions: A critical discussion in the HTA literature considers the definition of ELSIs in HTA, highlighting the importance of thinking beyond ELSIs as impacts of technology. Existing HTA guidance on integrating ELSIs relates to three broad approaches: literature synthesis, involvement of experts, and consideration of stakeholder values. The thirteen key policy evaluation frameworks relating to disease screening and public health genomics identified a range of ELSIs relevant to genetic screening. Beyond straightforward impacts of screening, these ELSIs require consideration of factors such as the social and political context surrounding policy decisions. The three broad approaches to addressing ELSIs described above are apparent in the screening/genomics literatures. In integrating these findings we suggest that the method chosen for addressing ELSIs in HTA for genetic screening may determine which ELSIs are prioritized; and that an important challenge is the lack of guidance for evaluating such methods.

Serum Se concentrations and dietary Se intakes have been determined in relation to age, sex, ethnicity, region and index of deprivation in a nationally representative sample of New Zealand children aged 5–14 years from the 2002 National Children's Nutrition Survey. Dietary intake was assessed from computer-assisted, multiple-pass 24 h diet recall interviews (n 3275). Serum Se concentrations were obtained from a subset of urban-based children (n 1547). Mean (95 % CI) serum Se concentration in children was 0·96 (0·93, 1·00) μmol/l. Males (1·00 μmol/l) had higher serum Se levels than females (0·93 μmol/l; P = 0·027). Mäori children had lower serum Se than Pacific Islands children (P = 0·038) and New Zealand European and Other children (P = 0·005). Children in the Upper North Island (1·06 μmol/l) had higher mean serum Se values than those in the Lower North Island (0·98 μmol/l, P < 0·0005) and South Island (0·79 μmol/l, P < 0·0005), and serum Se in the Lower North Island was higher than that in the South Island (P < 0·0005). Mean dietary Se intake was 36 (34, 37) μg/d. The intakes of children aged 5–6 years (31 μg/d) were lower than those of children aged 7–10 and 11–14 years (35 and 38 μg/d, respectively; P < 0·00 005) and the intakes of 7–10-year-olds were lower than those of 11–14-year-olds (P = 0·002). Serum Se was associated with dietary Se after adjusting for all variables, including region (P = 0·006). The Se status of our children falls in the middle of the international range of serum Se concentrations, but that for children in the South Island is among the lowest values reported and may be a cause for concern.

Observations of CO can provide constraints on the density and temperature of the dense star-forming gas in galaxies, while observations of [CI] trace photon-dominated regions and provide information on the amount of atomic carbon in molecular clouds. In this paper, I review CO and [CI] observations of nearby galaxies, with an emphasis on galaxies for which high-resolution observations of multiple transitions and isotopologues are available. I also briefly discuss upper limits on water emission from nearby starburst galaxies and on O2 emission in the SMC obtained with the Odin satellite.

We present recent JCMT and BIMA array polarimetry data of nearby star-forming regions in order to compare the core and cloud-scale magnetic field geometries in two regions of Orion. The similarity of the magnetic field geometry in these cores to that of their ambient clouds is contrasted with JCMT data toward the Barnard 1 dark cloud in Perseus, which reveal a different magnetic field orientation between the majority of the cores and the surrounding cloud; each of the cores exhibits a different mean polarization position angle. We conclude that the preservation of the magnetic field geometry is better in cores formed within clouds with ordered large scale structures. In Barnard 1, the cores may quickly exhibit a different polarization pattern if they have, for example, rotation which differs from the large scale cloud motions, or a weaker component of ordered fields. This could also explain why the cores exhibit such different geometries from each other in Barnard 1.

Both theory and observation suggest that metallicity profoundly alters the properties and structure of the Photodissociation Regions (PDRs; e.g., Madden et al. 1997). Several factors contribute to the differences between high and low metallicity systems: altered gas phase and grain surface chemistry due to the low Si, C and S elemental abundances, and diminished dust shielding because of the low dust-to-gas ratio. Since there is less dust shielding, UV photons penetrate more deeply into the molecular clouds leaving H2 unaffected but photodissociating most other molecules everywhere except in the most opaque clumps. Thus, a low-metallicity system contains large regions where hydrogen remains molecular but the usual tracers of molecular gas like CO are photodissociated.

An objective, automated group-finding algorithm has been used to re-identify the OB associations in the irregular galaxy NGC 6822. The properties of the OB associations, such as size, age, and mass, are compared with those of OB associations in M33 identified using similar data and techniques. These two data sets allow the first objective comparison to be made of the properties of OB associations in two quite different galaxies.

A total of 38 molecular clouds have been mapped in the inner kiloparsec of the nearby galaxy M33. The properties of these clouds (diameters, velocity widths, brightness temperatures, and masses) are very similar to the properties of Galactic giant molecular clouds. The cloud mass spectrum is also similar in the two galaxies, except that the M33 mass spectrum is deficient in the highest mass clouds. A comparison of the interferometer and single dish fluxes shows that only 40% of the CO flux is contained in clouds more massive than 105 M⊙, while 60% of the flux is due to diffuse gas or a fairly smooth distribution of small clouds that cannot be detected with the interferometer. Comparing the CO maps with a high-resolution HI map and optical Hα photometry reveals that peaks in these three components are always found close together. The atomic gas peaks near the molecular clouds are probably produced via photo-dissociation of the molecular gas.
